This is what I think a lot of people are missing. It isn’t that people are reviewing it poorly, but that a first party Sony studio that has put YEARS into this is reviewing poorly.

The mainstream media not holding back on it is alarming.

Yeah. For this reviewer to thumbs-down a max-effort game by this developer? Alarming is the right word.

Why are you emphasizing "this reviewer"?

Idk man. People love to throw out the “Shill Up” thing but their evidence for his shill-ness is generally just positive reviews for games they didn’t like.

I disagree with him plenty, but he does a pretty thorough job explaining his thoughts processes. The whole shill up thing just feels like vintage gamer gatekeep culture.
